I would like to interrupt our regular blogging program to bring you some close up shots of the new Parisian Anthology Dimensions products. We never got the chance to show you these during sneak peek week so I am back today to show you how fun these can be!
I made these tags before we left for Chicago and we used them as part of our Parisian Anthology display during the latest trade show. These tags were quick and easy to make and I had a lot of fun peeling back the paper layer to reveal the “corrugated flutes” that were hiding underneath. The really cool thing about these pieces is that you can use them just the way they are and they look like regular die cut elements (similar to chipboard) – however if you want to sand them, peel them and distress them you can do that too!
Lets take a closer look:
To color the tags I used glimmer mist and distress inks in layers! I also misted the corrugated pieces after peeling away the edges. As you can see the misting sprays and inks cover the paper beautifully and allow the resist design to magically appear more vibrant.
I also embellished the tags with the tickets and dangle elements in clear! So fun!
So what now? Well I had a bunch of tags lying here on my desk so I decided to incorporate one of them into this layout! I have to admit I stole Heidi’s idea and wrapped the dress form girl with the ruffled darling to make it look like she was wearing a skirt. Heidi embellished and framed one of the corrugated dress form girls at the show and I think everyone fell in love with it on the spot. Mine isn’t nearly as amazing as hers (see below) but I did love the idea of creating a little skirt on this page to mimic the photo.
If you just don’t have it in you to peel away the layers of the corrugated pieces then feel free to ink them or colorize them like I did with the dimensions alpha for the page title above. The pieces dry quick and you get to enjoy the fact that you can “colorize” them to match your project. And…do I even have to convince you to get these papers in bulk?????

These items also come in a reusable corrugated box and each set includes over 50+ pieces! Look for them in stores soon!
Now…back to your regular blog programming.
